Gerade sollte ich in einer radiologischen Praxis in #Karlsruhe mit meinem Handy einen individuellen QR-Code scannen, um einen Patientinnenfragebogen auszufüllen.

Anscheinend hätte das dann innerhalb des Praxis-W-LANs die Daten übertragen.

Trotzdem frage ich mich, wie sicher so etwas ist.
Ich habe darauf bestanden, die Daten über ein Praxis-Tablet einzugeben (plöt…

Last week, we continued our #ISE2025 lecture on distributional semantics with the introduction of neural language models (NLMs) and compared them to traditional statistical n-gram models.
Benefits of NLMs:
- Capturing Long-Range Dependencies
- Computational and Statistical Tractability
- Improved Generalisation
- Higher Accuracy

It’s taking me way longer to set up for my seminar than last time. Like 6 hours longer lol - such is my tinnitus induced sleep deprivation - despite it being a similar simple bunch of machines.
If anyone happens to be in Karlsruhe and wants to come and laugh at me / wants to offer moral support - feel free to join! 😁 This time it’s called ‘Let Sound Be Sound: Technology, Perception, and the Question of Music’. Somehow it’s my third visit to the Akademie. 🤪

AI Models Exceed Individual Human Accuracy in Predicting Everyday Social Norms
A fundamental question in cognitive science concerns how social norms are acquired and represented. While humans typically learn norms through embodied social experience, we investigated whether large language models can achieve sophisticated norm understanding through statistical learning alone. Across two studies, we systematically evaluated multiple AI systems' ability to predict human social appropriateness judgments for 555 everyday scenarios by examining how closely they predicted the ave…

Affective Polarization across European Parliaments
Affective polarization, characterized by increased negativity and hostility towards opposing groups, has become a prominent feature of political discourse worldwide. Our study examines the presence of this type of polarization in a selection of European parliaments in a fully automated manner. Utilizing a comprehensive corpus of parliamentary speeches from the parliaments of six European countries, we employ natural language processing techniques to estimate parliamentarian sentiment. By compar…

Die Bahnreisenden in Karlsruhe sind entweder sehr unerschrocken oder sie haben keine Nachrichten gehört. Jedenfalls ist der Hauptbahnhof so voll wie immer.
